Basic Breakdown

The first team to reach the objective of 40 kills will win the game.

Edited on June 18: In Custom Matches, the number of kills needed to win the game will account for the number of players in each team and will automatically adjust. For example, if Team A has 3 players and Team B has 2 Players, the kill objective gets reduced to 30 kills

Gold and EXP accumulation are accelerated. Each Hyper starts with 12,000 Gold at the beginning of each match.

Hypers will regen 20% of overall health per sec when out of combat.

Jack's Magic Box spawns every 60 secs that grants you an 'almost' God Mode buff. Ok, not really, but you only take 1 damage per attack from the enemy.

Ranked Mode
In Patch v4.4, we had removed the Rank Decay penalty as part of our efforts to not penalize players if they couldn't find matches. With Season 1 now ending, further changes will be made based on player feedback received through the season.

Qualifications to receive Sonya's Sonny Boy skin has been modified to expand the number of players rewarded.
The new updates are:

Players must have completed their 10 placement matches, down from the 50 matches that was previously required.

Players no longer need to be in Gold tier, but must be at least in Silver or higher by the end of the Season.

New Season 1 Emblems will be distributed based on the highest tier reached.

While in Hyper Selection Mode, your highest tier reached in the previous season will now be displayed under your name.

The Nametag will only appear after completing a Ranked game in the new pre season. This feature can be toggle on/off by going to the Solo Rank tab under Account.

Updated on June 18: The matchmaking system for Rank Mode during Season 1 only allowed players to match with others that were around the same tier.
With preseason happening, the matchmaking criteria for players to find a match has been widened for high tier players.
Further analysis will be conducted to determine our next course of action to better improve the system for players who want to play Ranked Mode.

Preseason

Preseason will immediately begin after maintenance.

As part of a new feature we are testing, players will receive a new colored name plate after playing their first ranked match. The colors are based on the highest tier reached during preseason. These name plates will be displayed in the game lobby, the Hyper Selection phase, and the loading screen.

Note: Colors for these name tags will appear immediately after completing the placement matches.

[Skill] Salvation Protocol

Before: Removes all debuff effects

After: Removes all debuffs excluding interference effects

Dev Comment: Salvation Protocol removes all status effects making it more influential than intended. Thus, it was changed to remove debuffs excluding interference effects.

Before: Healing allies for up to 30＋(Skill Level×3)＋(Attack×0.13)＋(Additional Attack×0.07)＋(70% of additionally consumed Mana) Health and damaging enemies for up to 35＋(Skill Level×3)＋(Attack×0.09)＋(Additional Attack×0.04)＋(25% of additionally consumed Mana) per burst.

After: Healing allies for up to 30＋(Skill Level×3)＋(Attack×0.13)＋(Additional Attack×0.07)＋(70% of additionally consumed Mana) Health and damaging enemies for up to 35＋(Skill Level×8)＋(Attack×0.14)＋(Additional Attack×0.09)＋(35% of additionally consumed Mana) per burst. When within range of Rainbow Dance, all ally's slow debuffs are removed and Movement Speed increases by 5% while enemy Movement Speed is reduced by 10%.

Dev Comment: Pinky is powerful in the early part, but her skills become less efficient towards near end game. As a result, the Mana efficiency of her skills and skill numbers were increased to make her more viable during combat. Additionally, a function was added to increase the Movement Speed of allies and decrease the Movement Speed of enemies when they are within range of Rainbow Dance. This adds to her ultimate's effectiveness in the battlefield.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a rare issue where players would lose functionality when starting a Custom Match.
